Saying that I did buy a bike and ride it 2 hours home to find the link wasn't clipped together properly.

Drag racers used them years ago  ;)

K2-K6:
The loading (shear plane) of the plates is the same,  it's just if they are held in place by a fish plate or peened ends of rivets. If chain is big enough for the loading it shouldn't matter.

I usually set them and peen with a hammer by hand for the soft link type.

Trigger:
One that bugs me is, they recon that a X ring chain is better than a O ring chain so, why is it that the king link on a X ring chain come with O rings to be fitted and not X rings ?

Green1:
Makes sense chain brakeage is the least of my worries with my Pegaso as there known to spit the front sprocket off the shaft as there only held on with a circlip

I have always used the tool to peen them and never had any issues

Never noticed that with X & O ring chains

UK Pete:
Cheap ones  are shite the metals way too soft
